That's lovely. I'd snap it up if I could get to Wiltshire!

G just a bit of a fun sponge really.

I've used some, but not those specific bits - but I'd have no hesitation in trying them if they hit my spec / dimensions, etc

I've used a couple of cheap eBay rack packs a lot and have a couple of top tube bags, which are OK but not my favourites. Roswheel used to be very cheap and cheerful but their quality has gone up a lot (and price too!). I used their bar harness + dry bag on a bikepacking trip and it was ideal.

Thanks for the reply. Ended up getting her this from probikekit for the odd occasion she will need it. Arrived and seems reasonable. Can't really go wrong for £15! Decided to get her a nicer (but more expensive) bar bag from Aravis for everyday stuff.

Wow, that was all very sketchy.

Bettiol happy lol.

Has anybody had any good experiences with cheap Chinese on-bike luggage? Thinking half frame bag/saddle bag etc.

I just can't justify lovely but spendy UK-made stuff when my wife will probably use it twice ever.

Hadn't even noticed the specs tbph. For £250 or whatever they were, I guess we can't really complain!

Exactly - assumed I'd landed on some community outreach program's website. I just don't understand why. The rebrand is terrible, and they've somehow managed to make it less user-friendly.

Something that really annoyed me on their old site was the listing of out of stock products, but at least you could tick a box to filter them out. Not any more!

Everything?

Lovely, great price. Don't need but would buy if 2 inches smaller.

Dibs the stickers if splitting.

I live outside of the UK (not even Europe) and they took around 9 days from ordering to arrive. Was only about £20 delivery as well, which is way lower than wheelsets usually costs to get here.

Also got the cheap 650b Ribble wheelset and cheap Byways for my wife's equally cheap (but excellent) Carbonda. Very pleased so far, and I've never bought wheels with such a thorough QC receipt. Deal of the year!

WTF. Why was I not online earlier...

Can anybody recommend a nice place to base ourselves for a couple of weeks in the summer with good high mountain climbing AND flat ride options?

Currently thinking Annecy area (can go round the lake, and NW of the city looks flat(ish), but we've already been there. I'd quite like my wife to come and she absolutely won't want to do 2000m+ climbing every day.

Too busy to watch on Sunday or read much analysis.

Have there been some serious conversations about tubeless tyres?

Dumb question but I can't find a consistent answer. Whats the max recommended tyre width in relation to rim width?

Using 45c on 21mm/29.5mm rims should be fine, especially when running with tubes at reasonable pressures?

Manufacturer recommends 28c-40c but I'm guessing they're cautious and that refers to tubeless.

Lovely. This is mine, it's so much fun. Recommend.

Dibs and PM

Any recommendations for fast 26" tyres to be used in dry conditions/hard pack?

Imagine there's quite limited choice and I've only really been able to find Panaracer Comet Hard Pack, but no idea whether they are any good. Looks like they also do the Gravelking SK in 26×2.10.

I bought a Cinelli Veltrix carbon frameset from them (admittedly only about £450), and it arrived without forks.

They were pretty good with comms after the error but couldn't get the correct replacement from Cinelli. They sent me some Tifosi ones instead and I got them sprayed. Annoying, but I'd had the shipment forwarded out of the UK before I realised the error and it would have cost me loads to get it back.

Funny breed, the aggressive Hydro Protectors.

I saw it two hours after it was posted - I would have definitely bought it. Bargain!

My Bike Shop in the US are having a closing down sale. There appears to be some silly prices on there, such as this Rival AXS crankset for $54: https://mybikeshop.com/products/sram-rival-axs-crankset-107-bcd-dub-spindle-interface-172-5mm-48-35t.html

Or a Bombtrack hook carbon alu frameset for $540. https://mybikeshop.com/products/bombtrack-hook-ext-frameset-matte-black-grey-small.html

Not sure about shipping to UK/customs charges etc, but may be worthwhile.

The Cannondale lettering is really getting to me for some reason.
